A life-changing African safari caring for deserted Kenyan children

A people safari to visit our Nairobi Rescue Centre for abandoned Kenyan children where you become part of their lives for an inspirational day

On your Room For One More day tour we visit our One Horizon Rescue Centre in Nairobi, a special place that more than 70 abandoned Kenyan children now call home.

The infectious laughter of the children you’ll meet here belies the horrific starts to their young lives. They’ve all either lost their parents or been abandoned and most of them came to us from the streets.

Room For One More promises lots of fun and laughter as you join the One Horizon team in our children’s programs. There are more than 30 different activities you can become involved in as we feed, educate and play sport and games with the children.

As you interact with them, they’ll share stories that will touch your heart, but you’ll also experience first hand how our sustainable tourism is changing their lives and giving them a new chance at happy, healthy and successful futures.

You’ll leave us with hope … and knowing you’ve played your own personal role in forging the change in their lives.

Kenyan children are orphaned - One Horizon shelters, educates, feeds, clothes and cares for more than 2000 Kenyan orphans each year.

We spend the day with a group of children who not so long ago were living in fear on Nairobi’s streets and rummaging through garbage tips for scraps of food.

Now they have a home and they love welcoming visitors.

This is a rare chance to spend a day in the life of a humanitarian worker and, as always on One Horizon’s people safaris, the choices are up to you.

You can help us prepare meals and feed the children, join our teachers in the classroom, lead the afternoon physical education class, help out with their health checks, read to them, play with them or simply just tell them about your life back home – and hear their stories too.

I recently had the pleasure to join the One Horizon team in Nairobi for almost a week. Without a doubt this has been the most overwhelming experience. Incredible humanity, love and compassion in abundance. A total privilege to witness first-hand the amazing, ground breaking work that the team are providing for many disadvantaged, beautiful people of all ages. I have been so touched and feel incredibly fortunate to have shared these precious days with you all. I can’t thank you enough at One Horizon for all that you are and all that you do.

One Horizon has had a huge impact on me. They changed my life and in a way which I will forever be grateful for. They ran a youth group which I had went to. And apart from receiving a regular meal, they help me great ready and obtain a job by training me and giving me skills I am now one of the happiest men in Kenya.

On behalf of all of us at Giraffe Manor and the guests who were fortunate enough to be here on Christmas Eve, I would like to extend our heartfelt thanks for your efforts to bring the children to the Manor to sing for us. It was a truly special occasion that touched many of us deeply and helped us to better understand the good work that you & One Horizon are doing. The children looked so happy & healthy and well and this is undoubtedly attributable to everything you are doing.

Your Accommodation

If you’ve not yet booked your accommodation in Kenya, One Horizon can help out with a choice of 3, 4 and 5-star Nairobi hotels depending on your budget and requirements. Nairobi has many fine hotels that offer real value. If you’re venturing beyond Nairobi, Our People and Wildlife safaris offer the outstanding facilities that Kenya is famous for. We also ensure the hotels on your wildlife safaris conform to low footprint impacts on the environment.

Your Wellbeing

We strongly advise you to always drink from bottled water to ensure your wellness. Please do not administer first aid if any of the Kenyans you meet in our communities require medical assistance – our staff will apply the required first aid. If you require medications, please ensure you bring them with you on each of our journeys as our centres are some distance from good medical options and we may not be able to respond immediately.

Your Security

All our centres are in secured, patrolled grounds and our experienced One Horizon staff are always with you. We are all either Kenyans or ex-pats so we have our fingers on the pulse of Kenya and we vary our tours if we envisage potential problems due to election campaigning or other situations. Mostly, we’re all mums and dads so we’ll never put you, or ourselves, at risk. We recommend all travellers refer to their Government’s travel requirements when visiting Africa.
